Bug 16861 – aux_get(): (0) Error in xxx-xxx/xxxxxxx ebuild

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Todd Geders 2003-03-04 20:48:16 UTC]

Ok, very similar to bug 15968 (which I have no option to reopen).  Been having
this problem ever since portage 2.0.47-r7 (currently I have -r8).  Here's output
from 'emerge rsync':

bash-2.05a# emerge rsync
...
<normal output>

Now if you try to 'emerge -pu world':


bash-2.05a# emerge -pu world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
aux_get(): (0) Error in sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r7 ebuild.
               Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)


!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r2" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "sys-apps/texinfo-4.3-r1" [ebuild])



I have tried the "emerge regen" which doesn't affect this.  Perhaps its a Gentoo
1.2 specific problem?  Is there a way to delete all the portage tree and reload
it with fresh?  I can't believe there are 10 corrupt ebuilds and such...
